Im Back!!

Whats going on world? I just got back from an awesome snowmobiling trip in Vermont. There was about 5 feet of snow on the ground, so when we werent digging sleds out, it was a lot of fun to ride. Im pissed that I missed the slam dunk contest (although i just watched it on youtube)

5 random thoughts:

1. The Dunk Contest is back as Magic Johnson is so fond of saying. What the world saw last night was an unprecedented display of imagination, athleticism, and pure skill. We knew in the weeks leading up to the contest that this one was going to be one for the ages, and thanks to Dwight Howard and Gerald Green, we were right.

2. The Gerald Green cupcake dunk was in my opinion the highlight of the show. Do I think he should have won the contest? No, because the judges take all dunks into account, not just the best one.

3. Dwight Howard amazed me for a few reasons. First all of his dunks were at least 45s or better in my book, a hallmark of consistency. Second, his athleticism is mind boggling considering his size. How many other 7 footers are throwing down dunks like that? Darko? Ben Wallace? Dwight has redefined the idea of a big man, and the Magic would be foolish to get rid of him.

4. Charles Barkley is the funniest sports commentator in America. Well maybe second right behind Bill Walton. These two need to start working together ASAP. Make it happen.

5. Im so glad the "stars" of the league dont participate in the dunk contest anymore. Although the Kobes, Vinces, Jordans of the world have wowed us with their dunks, its now time for the younger players to start making a name for themselves. Its going to be interesting to see whether or not Dwight Howard and Gerald compete next year.

Ill be back tomorrow with more albums, sports reporting, and links for dat azz

Peace
